Geocache Description:


Echo Lake Stash

The Cache:  The container is a Lock&Lock hidden at the coordinates above, and under a large piece of bark.  If the bark is broken, please look around for a new piece.  

TIP:  If your GPS receiver is not getting a good signal, go to the meadow at the south end of the lake and stand there for about 10 - 15 minutes to allow the unit to acquire signals.  

 

The Trail:  There are a number of different ways to get to Echo Lake.  We came in through the Greenwater Lakes Trailhead, making for a 14 mile round trip.  You will need a NW Forest parking pass at the trailhead.  There are other alternatives though, Coral Pass is shorter but much steeper.  Camping at the lake is incredible, and the fish were jumping the whole time we were there.  If you take the Greenwater Lakes trail, there is an important intersection at N47° 04.619 W121° 26.597, go right up the hill to get to Lost Lake, or left down the hill to Echo Lake.  There is a cache at the southern Greenwater Lake, another at Lost Lake, and one more at Noble Knob.  Get a good topo or GreenTrails map and loop them all together! 

 

Kids and Dogs:  Both are allowed on these trails.  This is a great hike for kids to do an overnighter on.  There are a few good campsites along the lake and a few you'll pass on the way if they can't make it there.  There are plenty of dog watering opportunities along the Greenwater Trail, and the trail itself is very paw friendly.
